Chapter 289

? ? ? ? ?

Thinking of this, Raegan said softly, “Mitchel, I'm telling the truth.

There's nothing between Henley and me. Please do not let your suspicions lead you to false accusations.

“Are you suspicious?” Mitchel repeated, with a tone full of ambiguity.

Raegan nodded her head and her words came out hurriedly: “It's true. I have nothing to do with Henley. Why can't you believe it?

After speaking, Raegan instantly regretted her anxious tone.

He looked at Mitchel, fearing his reaction.

Mitchel's demeanor became cold. "You work for Henley's company and yet you claim there is no connection?"

Raegan's confusion was evident. What was Mitchel implying when he said he worked for Henley's company? She had never been aware of any connection between the company she worked for and Henley.

Mitchel showed Raegan a document on his laptop revealing that the company he worked for had been acquired by Henley the day after he joined.

The manager she knew was nothing more than a figurehead.

Rushing to clarify, Raegan insisted: "I had no idea about this. I swear".

Mitchel's eyes, however, remained skeptical, unconvinced by his words.

Panic gripped Raegan. The thought of prolonged confinement was unbearable.

«He has threatened me. If you doubt me, let me face him directly!

“Confront him?” Mitchel scoffed: "What did you expect from a man who is now a vegetable?"

"That?" Stunned, Raegan stared at Mitchel. "Henley... Is he in a vegetative state?"

Raegan's shock was palpable.

The thought of Henley being reduced to a vegetative state exceeded all his expectations.

The look of disbelief on Raegan's face turned to sadness, a sight that Mitchel found surprisingly out of place.

His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Does this make you sad?"

Raegan, surprised by his question, quickly shook her head. «No, it's just that it's difficult to understand...».

Henley and Raegan had known each other for a long time. Raegan wasn't callous or callous.

Besides, despite what Henley had done, he had never truly hurt her. At that critical moment, he had made a concerted effort to protect her.

Raegan's distracted look only fueled Mitchel's growing anger.
